A challenge of recycling saltwater into freshwater is that it creates a toxic byproduct. INL researchers have discovered a simple and inexpensive way to eliminate the liquid waste, resulting in only fresh water.

In early the morning of Nov. 11, INL employee KC Crump did not realize that in a matter of hours he would be working up a sweat chasing a wild, potentially injured tundra swan through the sagebrush. By mid-afternoon, he was watching more than one rescued bird out on the lake.

Did you know? The Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory is the world’s most powerful and flexible test reactor. Its low operating temperature and pressure exempt it from much of the wear and tear that commercial reactor vessels endure, but high neutron radiation levels cause some of its core components to get brittle.

Remote drone vessel inspections are helping ATR prepare for a major overhaul next year. Check it out: https://fal.cn/3cgHE
